Volkswagen South Africa has finally added a turbodiesel derivative to its Tiguan range. Here’s how much the Tiguan 2.0TDI 4Motion R-Line costs…

With all the focus on the freshly launched Tiguan R, Volkswagen South Africa has quietly further expanded its Tiguan range with the long-awaited addition of a 2.0TDI derivative.

The arrival of the turbodiesel option takes the local Tiguan range – which touched down in facelifted form in mid-2021 – to six variants, including the aforementioned 235 kW Tiguan R. Of course, the Wolfsburg-based firm’s local division also offers the 7-seater Allspace (though currently only with petrol power), with that range comprising a further five derivatives.

Priced from R783 100, the Tiguan 2.0TDI 4Motion R-Line slots into the line-up just below the 2.0TSI 4Motion R-Line, which costs R1 000 more. As its name suggests, the oil-burning Tiguan boasts VW’s 4Motion all-wheel-drive system and ships standard in R-Line form.

The 2.0-litre turbodiesel motor generates 130 kW and 380 Nm, peak outputs that are delivered to all four wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. According to the German automaker, the 0-100 kph sprint time comes in at 8.3 seconds, while consumption is a claimed 6.6 litres per 100 km.

The R-Line trim level includes items such as 19-inch Valencia alloy wheels, 3-zone climate control, ambient interior lighting, Vienna leather seats, the active info display and a Composition Media Radio with App Connect. Of course, the exterior R-Line package is also part of the purchase price.

The list of options, meanwhile, includes 20-inch Suzuka alloys (R13 700), a Harman Kardon sound system (R12 200), a head-up display (R11 200), Matrix LED IQ headlights (R14 800), a panoramic sunroof (R17 000), a raft of driver-assistance features and the Black Style Package (R29 600), amongst others.
